To make a day of it
Schlossruine stands in Regen (Landkreis Regen), in Bavaria, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. No visits are on record for this building.
The Schlossruine in Regen, also called Schloss Au, marks the remains of a former manorial castle in the district of Schlossau, south of the local forester's house. The baroque complex, rebuilt in the eighteenth century after its destruction by Pandur troops in 1742, later burned down in 1854 and was largely demolished in 1908, leaving only sections of rubble-stone wall with sixteenth-century corner quoins. The site once served as the administrative centre of four seigneurial jurisdictions combined under a single lordship for centuries.
